Hello to everybody
I'm studying the book of Chailloux, Manoury and Pagano and I' m now taking
into considerations the streams.
Using a plain ocaml prompt with Ocaml 3.04 on a RedHat box (coming from a
rpm), I get
# let foo = [< >];;
^^
Syntax error
I get the same error on a MacOS 9 box, using the standard Ocaml distribution.
I have plenty of expressions parenthesized with [< >] in the source
distribution, and I learnt that I could optionally use [: :] if I say so to
Camlp4. But neither [< >] nor [: :], that gives
# let foo = [: :];;
^
Syntax error
is accepted by the copies of the interpreter that I'm using, and I feel stuck.
Should I make a different toplevel giving special indications and links?
Sorry for bothering you. Think that you've (likely) been a beginner also...
once upon a time. By the way, I think that ocaml would be more widespread
than C if it only had 20% of its documentation and ease of consulting; I'd
have never started with it without the book of Chailloux, Manoury and Pagano
(that I thank).
Thanks
Ernesto
